STRAY NOTES.


The influence Of the press in civilized
communities is now recognized as one
Of the potent forces in their life. Not
only is the press expected to record
the doings Of the day, but it has been
permitted by universal consent to exer-
else the functions Of leader as well as
an exponent Of the thought Of the age.
1t is an open medium Of discussion in
all matters of popular interest, and
those who happen to be responsible
for its utterances ought themselves, in
the first place, to be capable Of grasp.
ing the subjects before them and dis.
cussing them in an enlightened and
independent manner. The readers Of
newspapers and other literature are
responsible themselves for the character
OF their reading. With regard to news
papers, il the sentiments expressed by
the journalist are contrary to right pTin-
cipIes, the reader possesses an inalien-
able right, so far as he is concerned, to
tabu the paper. He is under no obi
cations either to boy or read it. This
is rule, however, that is liable to be
misapplied. The right and the wrong
cf journals policy may be a matter
Of opinion, and it would be unfair to
discard writer 10 toto when his views
happen to be contrary to those Of the
reader in certain particulars, provided
his general scope and tone is unobjec-
tionable. Rnt If there Is anything TOO
contemplate for words to express, it is
the position Of journalist who goes
back on his record after he has secured
the confidence and support Of the pub
lie by virtue Of honest, straightforward
and intelligent advocacy Of right prin-
ciples and measures Of unquestioned
benefit to all concerned. To be
"tumcoat,p under any circumstances,
is generally an unpopular position but
to turn out and out "copperhead"
when the armies are in the
field is one Of the last bitches
of disreputable journalism. A news
paper, having gained access to the
homes Of the great majority of the peo-
pie, whether in city or country, by its
high toned and spirited attitude on
questions Of public import, goes back
on its record dIsgracefully when it vol
UNFAIRLY takes back seat, for the pur-
pose of working out some petty per
sonal object with which its readers are
nowisc concerned. When such a
course is taken, the public are really
duped into following ninny instead
Of what might as well be giant Such
paper ought to be voted public
nuisance inasmuch as it not only fails
to exercise its legitimate functions itself
but also stands in the way of those who
are both able and willing to occupy the
field to advantage.

Major HendsrshOfs Programme.

Anything more liberal than the pro
gramme for Major Hendershots enter
tainment tonight would be difficult to
crowd into the available time for the
performance. The only ones who win
be disappointed will be, FIRST those
who do not believe there is any music
in a drum, and, secondly, those
who believe the drummer on this
occasion to be an artist and
would like to have nothing but his
drumming the whole evening. AS the
seats are going rapidly, an early pur-
chase OF reservations will be the part
Of wisdom. This is one Of those rare
entertainments Of which there is none
like it travelling.

SWALLOW THIS.
Dr, min Has TO say of Nor
mon StubbOrnness.

The DEMOCRAT commends to the seri-
Gus consideration OF the stiff-necked
presidency in Zion the following editorial
reminder from the pen of their venerable
friend and Jack-Mormon, the editor-in-
chief OF the Omaha Heraid We clip
from its issue OF the 10th:
when year ago the Heraid, ap-
plauding the wisdom and also the cour-
age OF Bishop Sharp, appealed to Mr..
Cannon and the Mormon people to aC-
cept plan for the extinction Of polyg-
amy, through the admission OF the Terri
tory az State, it took occasion to warn
them OF the certain consequences of their
refusal In one or two short communca-
tlons TO the Salt Lake Herdid, as well as in
several personal interviews with leading
citizens Of Utah, its editor ventured to
predict that resistance to the law upon
that subject, I. T., refusal to obey il,
would lead to conlisCatiOns Of property,
and to the overthrow of leyery political
privilege which they possessed. These
people were asked to heed these warn
ings, but they would not.
The late bill coming even sooner than
was expected, proves TO our stT-necked
Mormon friends that we were not Mt all
blind to the inevitable logic OF the situa.
ton. The measure that has lust been
enacted is bad enough, but it is not the
end by any means The public opinion
Of Christendom, backed by thoroughly
digested and adjudicated laws, de-.
mands the extinction OF polygamy in
Utah and the Territories, and if
will be extinguished at the cost OF the
practical destruction Of everything, every
hight and privilege which the Mormon
people cherish as the bulwarks Of the
Church OF Latter-day Saints. 1t is too
~. %. - ~ aud u is utterly vain for ma tn

Serious Crime.

Deputies Pratt and Vandercook went
out to Tooele this morning and returned
this afternoon, bringing with them Louis
Hansen and Andrew Jensen, charged
with making an assault upon an old
woman named Mary Stevens and her son.
Mrs. Stevens claims that one day not
long since the two defendants drove
their sheep on to her land and when she
asked them to drive them off they re-
fused to do it, She then went into the
house and got her shotgun and her son
and again came out. She says they took
the gun away from her, Knocked her
down, knocked her son down and raised
Cain generally.
The young men, however, tell an en-
tirely different story. They say that
Mrs. Stevens came after them with a
shotgun and-they took it away from her.
She then got club, and in getting that
away from her she fell down. They
claim that her story is entirely false, and
they expect to prove it,
The young fellows were arrested on an
indictment found by the last Grand Jury,
and will go to the Pen. pending their
trial

Atchison Kan, June 7--Since ysster-
day noon about so acres OF land in East
Atchison, Mo-, have been washed away
by the river. The school house, which
q month ago stood a quarter OF . NIKE
from the bank, was moved east and
the ground on which il stood 10 now in
the river. The bank ct this point is per-
pendicnlar and 80 feet high. The river
has been rising steadily for 4S hours and
the high wind of yesterday drove the
current agsinst the bank with great
violence, washing out the bed
OF q~uicksand, winch lies below q
stratum OF clay and thus undermined
section after section OF earth which was
swallowed mp by the mighty current.
all the residents of that portion of the
town have been forced to hastily remove
their houses or abandon them to Che
mercy OF the river The river is steadily
and surely cutting its: way through the
narrow neck of land which affords APP
proach to the east end OF the Atchison
bridge and unless the government III
therities take speedy action IN the mat
ter the river, will cut through leaving
